Team Wixey
Catherine designed a new t-shirt for the Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon. We're both running the half. This is the back:
And this is the front:
Why "Team Building Excercise (sic) '99? Excellent question. It's an obscure reference from the Flight of the Conchords' song, "Business Time". I respect that.
A better question might be: Why did Catherine only order one shirt if it's for "Team Wixey"? Well, it was $25. So maybe the cost dissuaded her.
I told her she misspelled exercise. She said, "No I didn't. E-X-C-E-R-C-I-S-E." I told her that she would lose the spelling bee in the first round. I just figured out why she did it. She printed out an email from someone suggesting I get plenty of "excercise" while fighting cancer. Just a rule of thumb: Do not rely on strangers to verify your spelling for you. Dictionary.com is a click away.
She won't be wearing this shirt at the marathon, anyway. Why? She ordered a small. She's 6'1". Why did she do that? Ask her. I have no clue. It'll fit Gigi. She says she'll wear it. And that's good. It's a cool shirt.

Bill- saw your chemo and great spirit on Q13 the other night. Truly wish you the best! AWESOME that you're running the R&R marathon!
If you're up to more excitement this weekend, consider the Livestrong Challenge. You will be moved... and I'm sure we'd be very PROUD to squeeze you into the "spin zone". You are a SURVIVOR, and have a great support team. All the best to you all.

Bill, if you feel like running, then do it. You know better than anyone how YOU feel. Just because you are fiing this disease, it doesn't mean you are sick or should bury your head in the sand. Keep living! I treat many cancer patients each day and I tell them this all the time. Don't let the cancer run your life- you control it! God bless you my friend!

Hi Wixey: I pray for your recovery. Not sure if you remember our Wazzu road trips. For some reason I remember the day you said " I want to be a sports caster" I have wanted to tell you Congradulations!! for some time. You really are a champion. I am sure that determination will heal you as well.

Bill, I just wanted to let you know that I am more than impressed with your will to survive, and to continue your life as you had before your diagnosis. I was diagnosed in 2000 with Hodgkin's Lymphona (stage IV-
Continued success in your progress, and thank you so much for putting a well known "face" to this dreaded disease.
